a GREAT EXPENSE.

The total annual expenditures in Europe
on its armies and navies amounts to the
astonshingly large SUM of $917, 599, 9S5.
The largest annual expenditure il by
Russia, the amount being $3.50, 512, 500.
France comes next, with $16S, 1858, 915, and
for the same purpose there are expended by
Great Britain and Ireland, $155, 6O3, 775-
good third. Germany, considering the
magnitude of the army which that nation
has to support, looks very small. The ex-
penditure of the German empire amounts to
s113, 1913, 745. Austria, including Hun
gary, spends on its armies and navies S67,-
O6S.975. Italy spends little over $50, OOO,-
000 The remainder are much smaller,
being Spain, $31, $50, 900; Turkey, $27,-
500, 900, and Holland, ST, 100000. Large
though the expenditure on the armies and
navies of all these countries be, the amount
required for the payment of the interest on
the debts of these countries is still larger.

CURTIS THEN AND NOW.

The following incident that occurred IL
the Chicago Republican convention of 1860
as narrated in the Lincoln papers In the
September Century, places the great Mug
wump apostle in more glazing light OF
Inconsistency when compared with hi:
more recent utterances and actions, than
anything we have seen in the prints. How
the old man must blush when he reflects
upon his course in the past and then upon
his more recent foibles:
1t is not surprising that Charleston and
Chicago should furnish many striking con
trasts. At the Charleston convention, the
principal personal incident was long and
frank speech from one Gaulden, Savan-
nah slave trader. In the Chicago conven-
ton, the exact and extreme opposite of
such theme created one of the most inter.
esting of the debates. The platform had
been read and received with tremendous
cheers, when Mr.. Giddings, of Ohio, who
was everywhere eager to insist upon what
he designed as the primal truths" of the
Declaration of Independence, moved to
amend the first resolution by incorporating
in it the phrase which announces the right
OF all men to 'life. liberty, and the pur-
/ suit of happiness" The convention was
impatient to adopt the platform without
change; several delegates urged objections,
one of them pertinently observing that
there were also many other truths enunciat-
ed in the Declaration of Independence
"Mr. President" said he, II believe in the
ten commandments, but l do not want
them in political platform" Mr.. Gid
ding's amendment was voted down, and
the anti-slavery veteran, feeling himself
wounded In his most cherished philosophy,
rose and walked ont of the convention.
Personal friends, grieved that he should
feel offended and doubly sorry that the
general harmony should be marred by even
single dissent, followed Mr.. Giddings,
and sought to change his purpose. While
thus persuading him, the discussion had
passed to the second resolution, when Mr..
George William Curtis, of New York,
seized the chance to renew substantially
Mr.. Giddings' amendment There were
new objections, but Mr.. Curtis swept them
away with captivating burst Of oratory.
II have to ask this convention" he said,
whether they are prepared to go upon the
record before the country as voting down
the words of the declaration of Independ-
ence? rise simply to
ask gentlemen to think well before
upon the free prairies of the west. in the
of 1860, they dare to vince and
quail before the assertions of the men
In Philadelphia In 1776-before they dare
to shrink from repeating the words that
these great men enunciated.' '"This was a
strong appeal and took the convention by
storm, +" writes a recording journalist. A
new vote formally embodied this portion of
he Declaration of Independence in the
Republican platform, and Mr.. Giddings, |
1verjoyed at his triumph, had already re-
turned to his seat when the platform as a
whole was dopted with repeated and re-
1ewed shouts of applause that seemed to
hake the wigwam.
Wichita eagle., 1887-09-02

Eyes, the Democratic south has the
usufruct of the colored vote which gives
the Democrats some thirty-eight con-
gressmen and as many electoral votes,
while the colored voter himself is treated
as sort of outside barbarian, who finds it
difficult to vote at all, and when he does
succeed in getting his ticket in the box 1t Is
quite sure that it will never appear in the
count"
We see the above paragraph, credited to
the Atlanta, Ca, Constitution, going the
rounds of the press, and while we do not
doubt the truthfulness of the statement
contained In it, we do doubt that the Con-
stitution ever made use of the expressions
credited to it. 1t is too much, with all its
frankness and hardihood, to expect such
an admission from the great champion of
the "new south" idea; it would be tanta-
mo unit to writing himself down as knaye
and afool. Republican newspapers don't
need to resort to tthe discreditable method
81 putting words in q political enemy's
mouth out of which to make capital. There
are too many facts existing and too many
circumstances occurring to the enemy's
discredit to make such course necessary
even if 1t were polite.

timely, affording him plausible excuse to

full of vexation and difficulty ever since he
assumed it, and engage in a pursuit that
